I don’t think I hit him hard enough' - Cole told police
Cole was asked by police about the rip to Logan’s pyjama top and smacking Logan to the back of the head .
He said: “I clipped him, it wasn’t a swing.”
DC Neal said: “Did you cause him any injury?”
Cole said: “I may have have but I never intentionally did.”
DC Neal said: “Did he fall over or lose consciousness? On the post mortem he’s got a bleed on the brain, could that be from you?”
Cole said: “It could be yeah maybe, I don’t think I hit him hard enough to do that.”
The defendant was also asked about the moment he claimed he saw Logan dead.
DC Neal said: “Could you feel if he was warm or cold?”
Cole said: “I don’t know.”
It was also asked if Cole had caused the injury to Logan during CPR.
Coles said: “He was actually dead. I was trying to get him back. Angharad said she heard him take his last breath. I didn’t, I panicked.”
DC Neal said: “Is there any explanation as to why when faced with an unresponsive child you didn’t phone for a paramedic?”
Cole said: “(The initial response cannot be published) I just didn’t know what to *advertiser censored***** do. It was the point of being told he was dead and I tried to do CPR on him, that was my first instinct. I tried to compress his heart and give it breath and stuff.
“Angharad was frantic and hyperventilating. I have come in and there’s a dead child in front of me. I have not been approached with walking on a dead child before.”
DC Neal said: “Did it cross your mind to call a paramedic?”
Cole said: “I don’t know, I just panicked.”
The defendant denied either him or Williamson grabbed or struck Logan
He added: “I just found a dead child, you don’t want the child to be dead, you don’t want to kill a child. I don’t believe I took his life and I don’t believe Angharad did. I don’t know what’s happened here, I really don’t.”
